About the Founder
For more than a decade, Ben Kraker has worked in technology — building systems, solving problems, and ensuring that the tools people rely on truly serve their needs. His approach has always been grounded in understanding that behind every line of code is a human story worth honoring.
As a neurodiverse founder, Ben brings lived experience to the challenge of building accessible, emotionally intelligent technology. Seen Place represents his commitment to creating AI tools that respect privacy, foster genuine connection, and recognize the full complexity of human experience.
Ben's work centers on a core conviction: technology should help people feel seen, not surveilled. Whether developing privacy-preserving architectures or designing emotionally resonant interactions, the goal remains constant — building tools that honor both security and humanity.
Sometimes, the simplest things ... a key turned in trust, a candle flickering in the dark, a small green shoot pushing through broken ground ... are enough to remind us we're not alone.
